2017 | Gender Studies
This volume explores two threads: the new presence of queer children in popular cultural works and psychoanalytic discourse, and the increasing attention to childhood and the figural child in queer studies. With essays discussing topics ranging from the adoption and parenting of gay and transgender children and tweens to television episodes depicting homophobic bullying and gay teen suicide, contributors mark and intervene in the recent eruption of media coverage surrounding LGBTQ youth. This volume reflects upon the profound but insufficiently discussed shift in queer politics over the last decade that has moved to find a modern family with the child and children's culture at its core.
